🛒 How Autotrade Works

To use the Autotrade feature, follow these steps:

🛠️ Step	📜 Details
🧙‍♂️ 1. Vending Skill	Ensure your character has the Vending skill (available to Merchant-class characters).
💰 2. Set Up Shop	Use the Vending skill to create a shop with your desired items and prices.

After setting up the shop, use the `@autotrade` command to activate the system. Here's what happens:

✨ Step	📋 Details
⚡ 1. Command	Use the `@autotrade` command (or similar, depending on your server's configuration).
💾 2. Save State	The server saves your vending state.
🚪 3. Log Out	Your character logs out, but the vending shop stays visible to other players.
⏳ 4. Vendor Duration	Your shop remains active until:
	- ⌛ The vending duration expires.
	- 🔄 The server restarts.
	- 🛍️ The shop sells out.
	- 🛑 You manually cancel the shop by logging back in.

Once logged out with Autotrade, your shop operates as usual in the game world:

🛍️ Action	💡 Outcome
👀 Shop Visibility	Your shop remains visible to other players for purchases.
📈 Transaction Logs	All purchases are logged, and zeny earned is stored in your character's inventory or a designated location.

When you log back into the game, your vending state is restored:

📦 2. Unsold Items	Unsold items remain in your vending list.
